C         F  C
Taking it slowly
  Am             F  C
I'm afraid to be lonely
  C       F  C
Nobody told me
  Dm              Am                   F  C
It's harder than I thought to tell the truth
  C                      F  C
It's gonna leave you in pieces
  Am                 F  C
All alone with your demons
 C                  F  C
And I know that we need this
 Am                           F      C
But I've been too afraid to follow through

 C                    F     C
Hold me close and I won't leave
  Am             C               F  C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
 C                    F     C
So much to say but I don't speak
  Am                  C   F   C
And I hate that I let you stop me
  Am                      G     F  C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody

    C                  F  C
Don't know where the time went
   Am               F  C
Stuck in the wrong mindset
  C          F  C
I let the rules bend
  Am                                        F  C
When I know that all along they're made to break
 C                         F  C
You got me searching for reasons
 Am              F  C
To keep me from leaving
 C                   F      C
And that I have trouble breathing
 Dm                         F   C
I give myself another chance to stay

  C                    F    C
Hold me close and I won't leave
  Am           G              F     C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
  C                    F    C
So much to say but I don't speak
  Am                G      F    C
And I hate that I let you stop me
  Am                      G    F   C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody

 F                          C
One day before you know it, you will see
Dm                          G
All of the pain and all the harmony
Dm                               C
You'll feel the stinging and you think of me
 F
'Cause it hurts when you hurt

  C                   F    C
Hold me close and I won't leave
